First-Aid: First-Aid Kit

The materials necessary for first aid are kept together in a first aid kit or some other suitable container. These kits should be kept in the work place, in home, sports and leisure facilities and vehicles.

The contents of the kit at workplace and leisure center must conform to the legal requirements. You may add things to your kit at home depending on your requirements. The kit should be clearly marked and easily accessible. It should be kept in a cool and dry place. It should be checked and replenished regularly, so that all required items are always ready to use.
